The local news came to interview Zieschang two days after the incident and the deer returned again in the middle of the interview.

“He came back to see me,” Zieschange said. “Ah, he’s a good kid, I’m going to call him Uncle Buck.”

Uncle Buck walked right up to the officer and was giving his hand kisses and let the officer pet him.

Police believe that Uncle Buck has had lots of contact with humans since he appeared to have no fear of them and seemed socialized. He even got cozy with the cameramen and was nuzzling up against them.

They don’t, however, believe that he belongs to anyone or is anyone’s pet. The police also warned residents not to shoot any deer in their backyard.
